- Start-up BlueStacks is bringing around 400,000 Android apps to the Windows 8 Metro-style start screen.
- The Android-on-Windows app previewed at CES will be available as soon as Windows 8 ships and the company is reportedly working deals to have its App Player software preloaded on some new PCs.
- “Opinion within Microsoft is divided on BlueStacks, said CEO Rosen Sharma. Some are happy to see lots of apps that run in Metro, even if they are Android apps. Others, though, would prefer developers write apps directly to Windows,” reports AllThingsD.
- “As for computer makers, Sharma said that many are happy to have an option that allows them to offer up Android and Windows together.”
- BlueStacks is also working on a Mac version.
- The report includes a brief promotional video.
